Introduction

Personal finance and enterprise finance systems involve:

• Budgeting
• Expense tracking
• Investment planning
• Risk analysis
• Financial forecasting

But most users struggle to understand their finances.

So we build:

Financial Advisor AI Agent

• Analyze income and expenses
• Suggest budgeting strategies
• Recommend investments
• Detect financial risks
• Generate financial reports
• Provide savings recommendations

Step 1: Create Spring Boot Project

Dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Step 2: Financial Request Model

public class FinanceRequest {
    private String userId;
    private double income;
    private double expenses;
    private String goal; // savings, investment, retirement
}

---

Step 3: Financial Response Model

public class FinanceResponse {
    private String recommendation;
}

---

Step 4: Financial Controller

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/finance")
public class FinanceController {

    private final FinanceAgentService financeAgentService;

    public FinanceController(FinanceAgentService financeAgentService) {
        this.financeAgentService = financeAgentService;
    }

    @PostMapping("/analyze")
    public FinanceResponse analyze(@RequestBody FinanceRequest request) {
        return financeAgentService.process(request);
    }
}

---

Step 5: Finance Agent Service

@Service
public class FinanceAgentService {

    private final PlannerAgent plannerAgent;
    private final ExecutorAgent executorAgent;

    public FinanceAgentService(PlannerAgent plannerAgent,
                               ExecutorAgent executorAgent) {
        this.plannerAgent = plannerAgent;
        this.executorAgent = executorAgent;
    }

    public FinanceResponse process(FinanceRequest request) {

        // 1. Create financial plan
        String plan = plannerAgent.createPlan(request.getGoal());

        // 2. Execute financial strategy
        String result = executorAgent.execute(plan,
                request.getUserId(),
                request.getIncome(),
                request.getExpenses());

        // 3. Return response
        FinanceResponse response = new FinanceResponse();
        response.setRecommendation(result);

        return response;
    }
}

---

Step 6: Planner Agent

@Service
public class PlannerAgent {

    public String createPlan(String goal) {

        switch (goal.toLowerCase()) {

            case "savings":
                return "SAVINGS_PLAN";

            case "investment":
                return "INVESTMENT_PLAN";

            case "retirement":
                return "RETIREMENT_PLAN";

            default:
                return "GENERAL_FINANCE_PLAN";
        }
    }
}

---

Step 7: Executor Agent

@Service
public class ExecutorAgent {

    public String execute(String plan,
                          String userId,
                          double income,
                          double expenses) {

        double savings = income - expenses;

        switch (plan) {

            case "SAVINGS_PLAN":
                return "Recommended savings: " + (savings * 0.3);

            case "INVESTMENT_PLAN":
                return "Suggested investment allocation: 60% stocks, 40% bonds";

            case "RETIREMENT_PLAN":
                return "Retirement planning started for user: " + userId;

            default:
                return "General financial advice generated";
        }
    }
}

Step 8: MCP Integration (Advanced Layer)

Now we enhance Financial Advisor using MCP:

ExecutorAgent → MCP Server → Finance Tool + Investment Tool + Risk Engine + LLM
